Terry, I too looked into the Pilot idea, but came up empty. This seems like a perfect application for the little guy (Pilot, I mean). If anything comes up, please let the forum know. I'll do the same.

As a stopgap measure I bought a unit made by Actron for $150 but it didn't read the 611/612 codes I had (the dreaded gascap/small/lagre gastank pressure leak codes). It simply said "no DTCs", but was able to clear the codes and the Check Engine light. I am not sure if it will be able to read any of the more generic codes, but this is all I got to go on right at the moment.

Cheers.
